Ruddington & District

Group information

We currently have a variety of interest groups you can join or just try out once to see if they’re for you. These groups are organised by fellow members in line with the ethos of the u3a. The idea is to share our skills and keep costs to a minimum. Some groups have a small charge for room hire or materials, but many carry no additional cost.

Our current groups are listed below, and you can join as many or as few as you wish. New suggestions are always welcome. We can help you to set up a group and advertise it to our members through the monthly meetings and newsletter.

You don’t have to be an expert to run a group; all that is needed is interest and enthusiasm. To join a group, you must be a member of the Ruddington and District u3a.

Some groups have a limit on numbers so there may be a waiting list or, alternatively a second group can be formed.

If you are interested in joining a particular group, please click on the corresponding highlighted link below and send an email to the group convenor or sign up at the monthly meeting. Details are also in the newsletter.
